PeoriaPunditRadio: Con-Con talk delves into ballot access, electoral reforms

March 9, 2008
By Billy Dennis

peoriapunditradio.jpgToday’s PeoriaPunditRadio went off without a hitch. John Bambenek of the Illinois Citizens Coalition and I talked about the November vote on whether or not there should be a new Constitutional Convention. John is 100 oin favor. I ended up generally in favor, but not convinced that it’s a better solution than simply refusing to elect the same tired old hacks.

We also spent some time discussing one such reform, equal ballot access rules for candidates from different parties. Other issues includes gerrymandering and the state’s so-called balanced budgets.

The lone caller (but hopefully not the lone listener) was Peoria’s Brad Carter. Brad has dropped his opposition because it just might be the best way to accomplish vital reforms.

UPDATE: And I’ve uploaded the file to my site for direct download:
